  • Question

    This came with my house in Auburn MA. It is growing in my lawn/ new flower bed I've created. Just behind it is a small retention wall then a very steep wooded hill. This area is covered with individual single leaves and the has flowered for the first time in 3 years (this in part be because we were mowing this area until this spring)

    Answer

    Dear kobrien, it looks like you have photographed Campanula glomerata (clustered bellflower). This is a non-native species found in the Campanulaceae. Beautiful plant.
